Animal Shelter

The Royal Oak Animal Shelter is operated as a City service under management of the Royal Oak Police Department. Our goals are to provide a safe haven for lost animals or animals given up by their owners; to reunite lost animals with their human companions, and to provide the best possible adoptions of available animals into the home best suited to their personalities.

Featured Pet of the Week

MEET PHOENIX! Phoenix is a 5-year-old Pit Bull mix with one blue eye and one brown
eye. He is gorgeous. He came to the shelter as a stray with a terrible ear infection and was
heart worm positive. He has been treated for both, has been neutered and is up
to date on all his vaccines. He now has a clean bill of health and is ready to
go to his forever home for a belly scratch. Phoenix loves people but must be the
only pet in the household.

If you are interested giving Phoenix a place in your family, please visit the Royal Oak
Animal Shelter at 1515 Edgeworth (behind Mathews Hargreaves) or phone the shelter
at: 248-246-3364
